If America is so Christian, than it's the "will of the people" to have Christianity taught in the public schools. So why fight the will of the people? And how can a pledge be unconstitutional, it's a form of speech?

If 99 Christians vote to steal money from 1 atheist to form a "Christian School", it's still THEFT. And Theft is an Anti-Christian violation of the Eighth Commandment.

I'm in favor of my kids (when God sees fit to so bless me) affirming that this Nation... and every Atom in the Universe... is "under God". In fact, I want my kids to affirm that the Universe ain't under some un-named, deistic "God", I want them to affirm that the Universe is under the control of Jesus Christ in particular. "He holds in His nail-scarred hands the destiny of all things".

And I don't want to steal anyone else's money to say so.

Nobody is stealing anyone's money. Gimme a break.

Maybe you should just say that state-funded public schools are unconstitutional, which they are not. Or maybe you should just say that school vouchers and school choice is the only honest way to deal with public education. Either way, we all agree to live under the law of the land and pay taxes to the public toilet, nobody is stealing anyone's money.

Hmm...a false premise used to prove a false conclusion. Well, at least you're consistent.
